New Year’s Liquid Experiment
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."
Tim, he is an amazing guitarist.
I agree with you Kev, he sounds very much like Petrucci. I do really like Eric's youtube channel where he does his multi instrumentalist covers. Check them out if you've never seen them before.
Just a comment, although I do think Eric's soloing style is very close to JP's, if you listen to his 2 solo albums (Afterthought and The Great Unknown) as a composer, his style seems a lot closer to Planet X and Spock's Beard.

Feels like Eric is definitely at his best when collaborating with others, which is not a bad thing at all, as collaboration is a hallmark of music.
He's very talented. I'm sure he could play in a lot of different styles. Very talented singer as well (not to mention playing drums better than I ever will

I just find it strange that a guy named Gillette has a beard.
Surprised to see QR on Mike's list. My AOY. I thought he would have Megadeth on his list too but it must not have connected with him.
Looks like some of the Metal news sites have picked up the info, so I guess the cats outta the bag…not only will myself and Steve Vai induct Twisted Sister into the Metal Hall Of Fame on Jan 26th at the Canyon Club in CA, but we will also be performing a few songs live for the 1st time since 2016 at the ceremony as well! Can’t wait to get up there and throw down with my Sistas once again!🤘 #SMFForever
No idea who that band might have been, but you’d think at his age Mike would learn to roll with the Blabbermouth nonsense and not get so worked up when they run click bait headlines about things he says. These last two interviews he’s made comments about it.

I think it's more like Mike is a near 40 year professional and understands the rule that 'no publicity is bad publicity' and fans the flames to keep his brand relevant. Even if he is getting worked up over it.Thankfully, he is proficient enough to never have to go full Ted Nugent.

He is obviously someone who gets offended easily and has a hard time letting anything go, so reacting to any and everything is part of his brand, because it's a part of who he is, but I am sure he gets that his name in the headlines, even on Blabbermouth, is good for his overall brand. It's the old adage of "I would rather someone yell at me than ignore me."
MP just stated in a recent interview that he was scheduled to play a "one-off" performance with a HUGE band, but the festival was cancelled??? Any guesses as to what the festival was and who the band was? It wasn't Foo's. Just wondering if anyone could figure this out.
Is nickelback's drummer not available?
I just really like how much of a fanboy MP is of music and film. And now the celeb musician photos and anecdotes are really cool as well. I always check out MP wrapped at the end of the year because the man has a similar taste in movies and I always discover stuff by his recommendations. I also follow his profile on letterboxd where he logs and rates all the stuff he watches.
